Objective This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy of negative-pressure wound therapy with advanced moist wound therapy in managing diabetic foot ulcers. Methods A total of 450 participants with diabetic foot ulcers were randomized to receive either negative-pressure wound therapy (n = 204) or advanced moist wound therapy (n = 246) over 18 months. The primary outcome was complete ulcer closure, with secondary outcomes including time to closure, wound size reduction, infection rates, recurrence, and amputation rates. Wound dimensions were measured using digital planimetry, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was applied to assess time to closure. Result Analysis revealed statistically significant differences in clinical outcomes between treatment modalities. In the negative-pressure wound therapy group (n = 204), complete ulcer closure was achieved in 177 patients (87%), which was significantly greater than the advanced moist wound therapy group (n = 246) with 72 patients (29%) (P < .001). Although the mean time to wound closure was marginally extended in the negative-pressure wound therapy group (73 ± 45 days vs 64 ± 49 days; P = .045), this cohort demonstrated substantially more significant wound area reduction (48% ± 15 vs 25% ± 30; P < .001). Secondary outcome analysis revealed that negative-pressure wound therapy was associated with markedly reduced adverse events: wound infection (40 patients [20%] vs 95 patients [39%]; P < .001), ulcer recurrence (40 patients [20%] vs 113 patients [46%]; P < .001), and amputation rates (30 patients [15%] vs 132 patients [54%]; P < .001). Longitudinal assessment through Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated significantly greater wound closure probability and reduced complication risk in the negative-pressure wound therapy group throughout the follow-up period (log-rank P < .001). Conclusion Negative-pressure wound therapy is significantly more effective than advanced moist wound therapy in treating diabetic foot ulcers, demonstrating superior outcomes in wound closure, infection control, and amputation prevention. This study highlights negative-pressure wound therapy as the preferred treatment option for complex diabetic foot ulcers, warranting further research into its long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness.
BACKGROUND:Lyme disease is a tick-borne zoonotic disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and is prevalent in northeastern Asia, particularly in the forested area of Northeastern China. However, a lack of systematic data on the spatial distribution of B. burgdorferi in this region hinders the prediction of its transmission risk across the landscape. METHODS:To provide an updated overview and establish a comprehensive spatial distribution database, we conducted a systematic review of literature published between 2000 and 2022. We collected and compiled relevant data on B. burgdorferi in Northeastern China and its neighbouring regions, outlining its distribution in ticks, wild animals, livestock and humans. Spatial analysis was performed to identify spatial clusters of tick positivity and host infection rates. RESULTS:From a total of 1823 literature, we selected 110 references to compile 626 detection records of B. burgdorferi, including 288 in ticks, 109 in wildlife, 111 in livestock and domestic animals and 100 in humans. The average detection rate of B. burgdorferi in ticks was approximately 20%, with wildlife, livestock and domestic animal host positivity rates below 50% and human seroprevalence rates varying from 0.94% to 44.18%. CONCLUSIONS:The study identified the presence of 17 tick species and ten genotypes of B. burgdorferi in the region, indicating a broad distribution. Notably, B. burgdorferi exhibited notable clustering, particularly in the central and eastern areas of Jilin Province, warranting further investigation.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of podiatrists in preventing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in China. Method: The study was a prospective investigation. A total of 300 patients were enrolled from May 2016 to May 2018 in Handan Central Hospital, China. All patients who participated in this study had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). All participants underwent our survey, which included basic patient data and information about DFUs. The patients were followed for one year, during which time they received appropriate intervention from podiatrists, including lifestyle guidance, callus resection, tinea grinding and ingrown nail correction. At the end of the year all the patients were surveyed again. The data before and after the year were statistically compared. Results: The results showed that the incidence of DFUs in patients with diabetes was significantly decreased after one year of intervention from podiatrists (20.7% versus 6.7%, p<0.001). Additionally, there was a negative correlation between the number of intervention visits and the number of DFU occurrences (Spearman correlation coefficient: –0.496, p<0.001). Furthermore, we found that 68 patients with a history of DFUs or amputation had an obviously reduced incidence of DFUs after intervention by a podiatrist (89.7% versus 27.9%, p<0.001). We also investigated other foot risk factors in all participants, such as limb neuropathy (76.3%), lower extremity vascular disease (65.7%) and foot paralysis (43.7%). Conclusion: The results of this study help in understanding the situation of patients with diabetes in China and to prove that standardised podiatrist intervention has an important role in inhibiting the occurrence and development of DFUs.
目的 从临床视角了解住院病人的健康素养状况及其影响因素,为改善病人健康素养提供依据和建议.方法 采用分层整群抽样方法,调查全国7个省市、77家综合医院的8238例住院病人.临床健康素养包括病情表述的难度和正确服药的难度;影响因素包括结构因素(性别、年龄、文化程度、婚姻状况、经济状况以及地域分布)和调节因素(家庭成员支持、亲属中从事医护人员的数量和最近三年的住院次数).结果 调查对象病情表述难度"较多/很多"的比例,男性占17.7%,女性占20.6%;正确服药难度"较多/很多"的比例,男性占12.4%,女性占11.6%.Logistic回归分析结果显示,相对大学及以上文化程度的患者而言,小学及以下文化程度的患者在病情表述和正确服药方面的难度均多(OR=1.44,95%CI:1.16~1.80;OR正确服药=2.07,95%CI:1.57~2.73);相对经济状况好的患者而言,经济状况差的患者在病情表述和正确服药方面的难度均多(OR=2.14,95%CI:1.76~2.61;OR正确服药=2.05,95%CI:1.62~2.59);相对住院次数3次及以上的患者,没有住过院的患者对病情表述的难度小(OR=0.66,95%CI:0.56~0.78).结论 病人病情表述上的困难多于正确服药上的困难,影响因素中结构因素(特别是文化程度和经济状况)的作用可能比调节因素(特别是最近三年住院次数)的作用更为重要.

Objectives To evaluate patients' sense of responsibility to healthcare providers and to determine its predictors using on a national sample in China. Methods We conducted a national cross-sectional survey in China with a stratified cluster sample of patients treated in 77 hospitals between July 2014 and April 2015. Patients' sense of responsibility to healthcare providers was measured with four questions assessing patients' perceptions regarding their responsibilities to respect doctors, respect nurses, coordinate with health professionals, and comply with hospital rules. Predictors included patient socio-demographic characteristics and their past hospitalization experience. Results Small proportions of respondents reported that they perceived having no responsibility to respect doctors (8.9%), respect nurses (7.9%), comply with hospital rules (6.7%), or coordinate with health professionals (6.3%). Multivariate regression analyses showed that the strongest predictor of patients' sense of responsibility to healthcare providers was patinets' trust in health professionals, followed by patients' education level. Familiarity with healthcare professionals and past hospitalization frequency were inversely associated with patients' sense of responsibility to healthcare providers. Conclusions Although only a small proportion of the patients reported feeling no or low sense of responsibility to healthcare providers, the lack of respect and collaboration from these patients can negatively affect patient-provider relationships. Healthcare administrators need to communicate clearly with the patients and the public about the role of patients and the limitations of medicine in order to instill a sense of patients' responsibility.
Objective:The aim of this paper is to explore the influence of physician's occupational risk cogni-tion on defensive medical behavior. Methods:Semi-structured interview was applied for data collection from in-serv-ice doctors. A grounded theory was used to analyze and develop the relationship between physicians'occupational risk cognition and defensive medical behavior. Results:This study shows that the cognition of various occupational risks may lead to a series of psychological effects on doctors,such as mental stress,anxiety and depression,professional i-dentity decrease,fear of adventure and innovation,job enthusiasm decrease and probability of malpractice increase. Adverse defensive medical behaviors, such as ordering more tests, treatments and consultations, selective treatment of patients,shirking responsibility through informed consent, and favorable defensive medical behaviors, such as to improve service attitude,being more cautious during work and to improve professional skills,should be in response to occupational risks. Conclusions:Physicians'occupational risk cognition is the primary motivation of defensive medical behavior,and the relationship between physicians'occupational risk cognition and defensive medical behavior may al-so be mutually causal and effect.
Objective To examine the job involvement in community-based hypertension management,the satisfac tion to the management process and its influencing factors among community health workers and to provide practical suggestions for the improvement of community-based hypertension management.Methods A total of 249 community health workers in 14 administrative regions of Wuhan municipality of Hubei province were randomly selected and surveyed with a self-designed questionnaire in January,2015.The data were analyzed with descriptive methods and logistic regression analysis.Results Of all the respondents,71.9% considered that the process of community-based hypertension management met the basic quality requirement;40.2% were satisfied to the implementation of community-based hypertension management;60.6% regarded the treatment of community hypertension patients as their responsibilities,but only 17.3 %,28.1%,and 21.3 % reported participation in nursing service,health records management,and information system maintenance related to community hypertension patients.The improvements in medical insurance support for patients with chronic diseases,the participation of patients in disease management,incentives for community health service,and financial support for community health staff were suggested by 67.1%,69.5%,71.9%,and 73.9% of the respondents,respectively.Logistic regression analysis revealed that the community health workers with satisfactions to professional training,anti-hypertensive drugs available at community healthcare center,cooperation of patients and the quality of follow-up work were more likely to be satisfied to the implementation of community-based hypertension management.Conclusion The satisfaction to the implementation of community-based hypertension management is at a general level and mainly influenced by professional training,anti-hypertensive drags available at community healthcare center,coopera tion of patients and the quality of follow-up work among community health workers in Wuhan municipality.
